I just learned today that my cousin, I Wayan Dedik is getting married September 25. I’ve known Dedik for all my years on Bali, and when I asked him to help me in talking to my wife’s family regarding my intentions about marrying her, he told me a great proverb about sugar cane.
As he put it, the sugar cane is very sweet for the first few chews, but over time, it can become very bitter. Well, as I told him earlier today, I’m still chewing on it, and it only gets sweeter!
More great news from Dedik...he has just been accepted for a full fellowship at the University of Illinois (Chicago campus), where he will also earn his doctorate in ethnomusicology. I know two great guys who passed this life last year who would be very happy to hear this....Bob Brown and Andy Toth.
Of course, in my own usual manner, I had to inform Dedik that UIC is among the top 100 campuses for gay students! :shock: :shock: :shock:
